Behavior is sometimes insensitive, and sometimes extremely sensitive, to changes in reinforcement magnitude. The present work attempted to analyze this disparity by comparing, in a single experimental situation, a pigeon's choices with its response rates. Whereas choices varied directly with reinforcement duration, rates of responding were comparatively insensitive to duration changes. These results suggest that the effect of reinforcement magnitude on responding partly depends upon the extent to which responding influences the amount of reinforcement.
行为有时对强化量的变化不敏感，有时则极其敏感。本研究试图通过在单一实验情境中比较鸽子的选择与其反应速率来分析这种差异。虽然选择直接随强化持续时间而变化，但反应速率对持续时间的变化相对不敏感。这些结果表明，强化量对反应的影响部分取决于反应影响强化量的程度。
